A line 'L' is drawn from P4,3 to meet the lines L1:3x+4y+5=0 and L2:3x+4y+15=0 at point A and B respectively. From 'A' a line, perpendicular to L is drawn meeting the line L2 at A1. Similarly from point 'B' a line, perpendicular to L is drawn meeting the line L1 at B1. Thus a parallelogram AA1BB1 is formed. Find the equation(s) of 'L' so that the area of the parallelogram AA1BB1 is least.
